Is it just me or has anyone noticed that the most satisfying and valuable things comes in a cheap way or form? Most people do not see this because they expect expensive things to come with drum rolls, loud and special.
Funny but when people expect bigger things they tend to be disappointed because they set their expectations too high that even when it eventually happens lesser than they have expected it becomes nothing them.
Collecting from the scriptures, It happened that the messiah was to come and Everyone expected Him in a big way. But did He come in a big way?
People expected Him to come riding on a horse with wings, to be born at the best place ever. But He chose the manger not a special hospital. Personally I always wonder if any child could survive birth in a manger.
One is the smell of the whole place and the uncomfortable atmosphere,then the noisy animals; but that was the place God chose for Jesus to be born to prove countless points and there he was visited and glorified by the angels.
Suddenly a great army of heaven's Angels appeared with the Angel singing praises to God.
-Luke 2:13
Many times we have let opportunities slip by simply because they did not come as loud as we want for people to envy. If lots of people can realise this am sure some opportunities would not go just like that.
Why is it that the most successful people come from the slum, from nothing? Why do we have people of great potentials from humble and poor homes? Question so many are yet to discern.
"Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" - John: 1-46
Yes! Everything good can come out of Nazareth. Do not think that the Nazareth you see in people today can not spring up greatness.
Simply because Nathanel found out that Jesus is from Nazarene, the least of his expectation he had to ask John that question.
Just like Nathanel we also conclude and underestimate the potential of people because of look, background and origin.
If Jesus could come to this world so humble yet He is the messiah then we should change our trail of thought and stop looking down on people because of what we Perceive them to be.
Do not lose a good friend because they do not meet up to your standard. Be humble and sweet.Respect everyone equally and forget looks and class. Have a blessed week ahead.
